If what I read is true, shame on you beyoncé. Did you or did you not abandon your dog at your recording studio offices ? The employees take care of him, waiting for the day when you will pick him up, it's been 6 months now ! Botch !

yawn, how much did her daddy pay for her to be in it? they were desperate to get her there to perform and the Obamas were not interested, I guess her dad made some mad arrangament$$$ with one of the producers of the event. Lame…this ho will bring nothing but shame and ghettoness to the white house.

Can't believe the Pres-Elect picked this opportunistic thief to sing at the Inauguration. Maybe the bitch will sing one the many songs she's stolen and called her own claiming she wrote them like Irreplaceable or If I Were A Boy.

I hope its NOT "Crazy in Love"….as a matter of fact I hope she doesnt sing any of her ballads. It'd be nice to hear something classic like Etta James, "At Last"….or some Billie Holiday. I'm not big on Beyonce….and if I could have it my way, Adele or Duffy would perform for Mr. and Mrs. President.

I agree that I DO NOT like how this becoming some kind of celebrity star studded event. Especially since Beyonce did not do anything big to get people registered to vote, she does NOT care about common people and are problems. She only wants to be apart of this to help boost her ego. I think a common voter, who could sing, should have gotten the chance to do some things. I do like Beyonce but I dont like how she has to be in everything. Heck she made 82 milli last year, pay some peoples mortgages! I didn't buy her album because I am a state employee who, due to the economy, did not get the raise we were promised and my rent went up! I can not afford to buy music, see movies, or take a nice vacation. But I voted for change and I know what it is like to struggle financially. SHE DOES NOT!!!

Re: stcjanell –
Absolutely excellent points. It would actually be smarter to have a community group choir perform, than Beyonce, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers. Good grief, who put the list of performers together?! I understand Bono, because he has fought for human rights for decades, but pop stars?

Although I just saw the list of all performers and it includes Aretha and Bruce Springsteen, John Mellencamp, Mary J. Blige, which I see as more suited to perform at an inauguration.

Oh not her! It wasn't like her ego wasn't massive enough already! Now she's going to think she's the greatest fucking singer in the entire world!
Her ego will then begin to multiply geometrically. Soon it will develop its' own nation and attempt to take over smaller nations. It will then procure its' own selection of nuclear arms and doomsday will quickly follow!

Re: Phil-doh – hahaha, SCORE ~ you guessed exactly right ~ and she butchered "at last" so badly that i am sorta happy to see that she is going to attempt to sing, live, a song that's so clearly out of her league.

Oh NOOOO why would someone want Obama and Michelle deaf???
B is sooo overrated, she needs to stop yelling that much, her last records are just pure yelling and computer arranged… she used to be a good performer back in the DC's days…

its politics not hollywood? is obama just biding his time before he star collaborating with jay-z? does he just want to be a big ol celeb?
also… kind of amusing how everyone involved is black, i can say this because i am black. hmm,

She had to beg to get it. remember she was going on and on about wanting to sing at the inaugural? I guess they finally relented and gave it to her. Therefore technically it wasn't an invite she just houndd them to death, to make herself feel a part of. I wish they had refused her request but oh well.
